But it is the nature of stars to cross

“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
— John Green (The Fault in Our Stars)

“It seemed like forever ago, like we’ve had this brief but still infinite forever. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.”
— John Green (The Fault in Our Stars)

“I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”
— John Green (The Fault in Our Stars)

Lounging around in bed, in Beijing, unable to fall asleep, and re-reading John Green’s while thinking about life. The best part about this hotel – everything in the mini-bar is complimentary, although I hardly touched anything except beer and nuts. Been unable to fall asleep lately, again, and I think it’s the restlessness and hyperactivity in the mind that kills me and keeps me up all at once. Ironically, only when I’m truly on holiday do I find the complete relaxation to concuss for long unspeakable hours.

“But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.”
— John Green (The Fault in Our Stars)
